I think I posted some map loading code a day or two ago, but if you just want to put a picture on the screen it may be easier to draw it in smile tools drawing program, then load it from file. Something like: DEF TITLESCREEN DIM X%, Y%, MSG$ LOAD "GRP0:SPACETITLE", 0, 0, FALSE GCOPY 0, 0, 0, 400, 240, 0, 0 MSG$ = "PRESS A BUTTON TO PLAY" X% = (49 - LEN(MSG$)) * 8 Y% = 20 GPUTCHR X%, Y%, MSG
